Radical i would rather see your art than the dismal walls behind it. As if it really matters what goes on in there.. its our house now and soon it will be gone anyways.
Rita your comments really bug me, like you think these places were paradise. Just remember you woked there not lived there.. you didnt have to suffer the mistreatment, at the end of the day you can pack your stuff and just go home. These places are not nice, lit and clean or damp and dismal like this, they are all the same.. purely horrible.
Radical Ed. PLEASE ADD ME TO MSN Wolfish_type@hotmail.com I cant find any other way to contact you. Im comming from australia to see byberry. I need a guide.
You guys have odd cops that would actually chase you guys round a building like that, it sounds like a rush. Here where we live the cops are lazy and are all like "Stop! or ill shout stop again". I love nothin more than giving the cops round here a run for thier money.. but a cop chopper tops it.. i MUST get my ass to byberry before it closes!
In the hospital near here they left so much stuff including reels of film to this day i still dont know whats on it. They left TONS of out of date anasthetic needlepoint vials.. all full and a whole draw of unused needles with sterile tags and unbroken seals.. its like they were begging for a lawsuit there.
Oh and Webby is right, Humans are classified along with the morgues as a bio hazard area because of diseases such as MRSA (i think it called that) And golden staff, and for you guys who dont know what golden staff is then ill let you know that dont go in there with any open wounds.. golden staff is a flesh eating disease found in most hospitals.. even ones still running
All the freezer door thingos were taken from the hospital near here not because of things like getting locked in a freezer but because the recycle value on those are great. All the copper piping in the old hospital here was taken too along with a few toilets and stuff what was left was vandalised and thrown from the third story window. A different hospital a bit further from where i am which was used to house the insane has been turned into a Hotel/Motel. I want to stay there but for personal reasons cant bring myself to do it.
Alot of bad things happen in these places like for example there is a disorder or people who smoke cigarettes then eat the lit smoke butts. There was evidence found that orderlys were busted throwing smokes on the ground in front of these people just for the novelty of watching them fight on the ground over who gets to eat it. We didnt have a sunroom where i was, we had a closet type thing though with a playstation in it but the drugs most of us on made us too agitated to sit and concerntrate on a game for more than 5 minutes without getting up and pacing around.
Im going to use this picture in my scapbook i hope you dont mind. It's different to the windows we had, i think i like this one better, our windows were double locking. Meaning you had to ask a nurse to unlock the flirst grate like window which made it hard to see out and allowed very little light to shine through to open the big glass (barred from the inside) window. Often the nights would become cold but no one would come to your aid, when you got cold, to close the window.
Rita, you obviously havent spent time in a place like this and if you did im sure you would be too busy planning escape, off your head on drugs or trying to slit your wrists with a small piece of plastic you stole from the crafts room to notice the nice texture and glossy look on the walls.
Just scanning through somewhat and reading somewhat. CJ if you are still around, i read what you wrote about this nurse station and it sent tingles of memory through me. I know how you felt looking through that window at night.. watching the nurses do change over and thinking "they can just walk out of here, go home to thier familiar things.. and human contact." I used to cry myself to sleep in places like that. I dont know if this are the same over there as it is here.. im a 21 year old female in australia.
